Reading http://starshollowconfessions.tumblr.com just reminded me of something.
What if I had grown up watching Gilmore Girls? Or what would more girls be like had they watched GG? (Ignoring the fact that Gilmore Girls and Gossip Girl are both GG, I’ll use GG for Gilmore Girls.)
Although GG is fictional, Rory’s character in her work ethic is admirable and I find that programmes often have studious characters without really developing their character or showing them in another context apart from school.
While GG had crazy characters, at least the main characters had development and it’s not just them jumping from event to event. You saw characters having conflicts with their beliefs, although, it doesn’t make that as clear in the show as you may notice some random flips in personality.
Anyhow, back to the original point that started this: some confessions talked about how Rory inspired them to study and further their education. I thought maybe if there were more female characters that cared more than just relationships, because there are people with that attitude, then perhaps girls will aspire to be what ever they want and not just what they think they can be. -coughcough- Such as doing academic subjects that are so worthwhile. I don’t think it’s clear enough the range of careers when you’re young and by the time you realise what you actually want to do, it’s too late to change or you might feel like it’s going back on your word.
There’s more to life than what’s on tv (and the internet).
